In fact, if you think about it carefully, the clothes of medical staff seem to be like this. In everyone's impression, medical staff are angels in white, so they are called so. , Firstly, because they save lives and heal the wounded, they are very great, just like angels who come to the world to treat illnesses and save people; secondly, because doctors and nurses all wear white overalls.

The doctors and nurses we usually see when we go to the hospital are basically wearing white clothes, especially the nurses, who are even more uniformly dressed, and even the shoes they wear are uniformly configured. But if you are careful, you will find that sometimes when you are seeing a doctor in the outpatient clinic, you will suddenly see one or two nurses in pink clothes, and sometimes you will also see one or two nurses in green clothes.

When we go to the hospital to see a doctor, if we need to ask questions, Especially when it comes to diseases, don’t ask a nurse when you see one, and finally go directly to the specific department for consultation, because in a tertiary hospital, you can not only see nurses wearing white clothes, but also nurses wearing pink, green, Even though the nurses in purple clothes are all called "nurses", their work nature and functions are different.

In the medical industry, nurses’ salaries are generally not high, and their work is very busy and hard. This is a well-known phenomenon, but nurses who wear clothes of different colors should look at them differently, because these " Nurses wearing colored uniforms are treated differently than nurses wearing white uniforms. In terms of salary and benefits, they are completely different.

Today we will briefly popularize relevant knowledge on this issue. Once you have a clear understanding, you will no longer feel panicked when going to the hospital.

1. About the origin of nurse uniforms.

Speaking of nurses and doctors, we have to mention the world’s first real female nurse, Florence Nightingale. May 12th every year is International Nurses Day, commemorated by It was Nightingale who made great contributions to the modern nursing discipline.

Before the 18th century, those who were engaged in nursing work were mainly monks, nuns or women of low status. The nurses wore nurse uniforms They are all modified based on nuns' uniforms, and some even directly wear nuns' uniforms to take care of patients.

Later, during the Nightingale period, the world’s first real female nurse, Nightingale, was born. She was known as the “Goddess of the Lamp”. After the Crimean War broke out, In the UK, due to the lack of nurses and poor medical conditions, the mortality rate of British soldiers reached 42%. Later, Nightingale took the initiative to apply to be a field nurse. She led 38 nurses to the frontline hospital. Under their careful care, the soldier died. The rate dropped by 2.2%.

Later, Nightingale was elected as the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society. Later, she founded the world's first formal nursing school, and then the nursing profession officially became formal. Therefore, the history of nurse uniforms should originate from Nightingale’s era. It was Nightingale who pioneered nurse uniforms and formulated the principle of “clean, neat and easy to clean” for clothing. From then on, as long as nurses in the medical industry We all need to wear nurse uniforms when taking up work.

In the early 20th century, nurses’ uniforms still had religious attire. In addition to being different in color from nuns’ uniforms, they were actually similar to nuns in shape. Later, as the times continued to progress, nurse uniforms also evolved from the nun style. Although each country has its own characteristics in the design of skirts and hats, the color of the clothes is basically white.

After the end of World War II, the clothing industry began to develop rapidly. Short-sleeved nurse uniforms replaced long-sleeved ones. The designs of cuffs, collars, belts, buttons, and pockets were also more aesthetically pleasing. Then the traditional robes and long skirts became more capable, simple and neat. Of course, during this period, each country began to have its own aesthetics and began to create its own nurse uniforms with its own characteristics, but the only difference was that That is: the buttons on the waistband of the nurse uniform have been moved to the front of the clothing, making the overall cut more fitting and natural.

Nowadays, long skirt-style nurse uniforms have been replaced by short skirts and trousers, which can improve the work efficiency of nurses and make them more comfortable to wear. Nowadays, nurse uniforms are basically used in all countries in the world. It is a split type, that is, a top is paired with trousers. This kind of nurse uniform is not only simple and elegant, but also convenient for nurses to work.

2. What is the difference between wearing a white nurse uniform and a pink nurse uniform?

Although those wearing white clothes and those wearing pink clothes are both called nurses, they are fundamentally different, not only in terms of work, but also in terms of salary and benefits.

1. The nature of the work is different.

If you are in some private hospitals, such as XX Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital or XX Men's Hospital, the nurses wearing pink clothes are basically medical guides or medical directors, but the nurses wearing white clothes are Real nurses in hospitals.

But if you are in some regular tertiary hospitals, the nurses in white are basically outpatient nurses or inpatient nurses, and the nurses in pink are mostly obstetrics, gynecology and pediatric nurses.

2. The work content is different.

If you are a nurse in a private hospital, pink-coated nurses are engaged in guidance work. The work content is relatively simple and the professional requirements are not high. The hospital’s recruitment requirements for this position are also relatively low. Some hospitals even There are no requirements for academic qualifications, skills, or certificates. Applicants only need to be good-looking, articulate, and know how to treat others.

And if you are a pink-coated nurse in a tertiary hospital, if you are in the obstetrics and gynecology department, your job content is basically to take care of the mothers in the ward, observe the daily conditions of the mothers and newborns, and if the mothers have some postpartum treatment For example, I will be responsible for infusions, dressing changes for injections, postpartum care, and other sundries in the department.

If you are a nurse in white at a tertiary hospital, or a nurse in an outpatient or inpatient department, the work content will be relatively more tedious, and you may be busy from morning to night. At night, not only do they have to assist doctors to receive patients, guide them to do examinations and report, some patients with limited mobility have to be accompanied by outpatient nurses for examinations. In addition, due to the strict control of major hospitals due to the epidemic, outpatient nurses may In addition to completing the undergraduate work, he is also responsible for scanning QR codes for patients at the hospital gate, doing nucleic acid tests, etc.

Nurses in the inpatient department are not much easier than outpatient nurses. If they are assigned to a ward in a "popular" department and there are so many patients in the ward, the nurses may be in a physical state every day. I am overdrafted and have to work not only shifts but also night shifts. For example, in the gastroenterology department where my cousin works, the nurses in the inpatient department basically have to take care of 60-70 patients. When they are busy, they can't even take care of eating. .

3. Salaries and benefits are different.

“Once you enter medicine, you will be as deep as the sea, and from then on you will be a passerby on weekends.” Many doctors and nurses have given this “wise saying” to those who are about to enter the medical industry, because this job is really It is very hard and busy. Nurses, in particular, can be said to be the position where the "workload and actual salary" are least consistent.

As we all know, the salary of nurses is generally not high. Compared with doctors, it can be said to be relatively low. Take the guidance nurse of a tertiary hospital in our local area (a third-tier city in the Northeast) For one job, guidance nurses do not belong to the formal establishment of the hospital and are all outsourced. After joining, the monthly salary after deducting five social insurances and one housing fund is only 1,100 yuan, which is 500 yuan lower than the salary of sanitation workers. Yuan.

So although the nurses in white and the nurses in pink are both nurses in the hospital, they belong to different departments, and their salaries are different.

For example, the monthly salary of a pediatric nurse wearing pink clothes may not be as high as that of a white-clothed outpatient nurse. Previously, it was reported on the Internet that pediatric nurses in a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou resigned collectively and went on strike because of this The workload is getting bigger and bigger, but the wages and bonuses are getting smaller and smaller. Under the hospital's new system, the bonus for pediatric nurses has dropped by 30% compared with before.

The shortage of doctors and nurses in pediatrics exists in major hospitals across the country, and is becoming increasingly serious, because in most hospitals across the country, pediatrics, infectious diseases, endocrinology, etc. are all part of the comprehensive salary comparison In poor departments, the wages of nurses working in this department are generally not high. Basically, an intern nurse may earn about 1,200-1,500 yuan a month; a regular nurse may earn about 2,000-3,000 yuan a month; a higher-level head nurse may earn only The monthly salary is more than 4,000-5,000 yuan.

The departments with the highest wages in tertiary hospitals are generally orthopedics, stomatology, and ophthalmology. The income of these three departments is quite high, so the white-coated nurses working in these three departments also earn more than Nurses in other departments earn at least 500-1,000 yuan more per month. The most important point is that the work of nurses in these three popular departments is relatively simple

Take the white-coated nurses in the ophthalmology department, for example, the basic job is Assisting doctors to do simple tasks such as measuring the patient's vision and applying eye drops is easy and not tiring. The department's monthly bonuses are also relatively generous, and the bonuses assigned to the nurses in the department are naturally larger.

The second is the departments with medium income in the hospital, such as urology, thoracic surgery, oncology surgery, oncology, etc. The income of nurses is also pretty good, and professional work is performed by the professional directors and professors of the departments. Responsible, the nurses in white are responsible for some basic guidance and assistance work, and the salary is relatively ideal.

3. In addition to pink nurse uniforms, are there other colors of nurse uniforms?

In hospitals, nurses not only wear white, pink, but also other colors of nurse uniforms. Of course, each color represents a different meaning.

1. Green nurse uniform.

Green nurse uniforms generally work in the three departments of emergency room, operating room and ICU. It is especially common in the operating room. Both doctors and nurses wear green uniforms and blue shirts. Hats of different colors or patterns, even shoes are green Crocs, and even the surgical drapes on the doctor's operating table are green.

All medical staff in the operating room are highly nervous. Especially when doctors are operating with a knife, they not only have to concentrate, but their field of vision must not be disturbed in any way. Therefore, in order to prevent the doctors from prolonged When staring at red blood causes visual fatigue, medical staff change their clothes to green. This is to relieve visual stress. Red and green can be used as contrast, and the eyes will gain their own balance and produce a complementary color as an adjustment.

Secondly, green also represents vitality and hope. Patients entering these three departments are basically in very urgent condition or even hanging on by a thread. Medical Staff wearing green clothes can give patients and their families a hope of life.

2. Purple nurse uniform.

Purple nurse uniforms are generally worn by nurses in neonatal departments and delivery rooms.

Purple is a very soft color. People give purple the meaning of purity, charm, dignity and elegance. It can be said that purple is the most suitable color for women.

And from the delivery room to the neonatology department, they are actually on the same line. The pregnant woman enters the delivery room, and after giving birth to the child, the child is sent to the neonatology department for examination. This series of processes is what women call Being a mother is the only way to go, so the medical staff in these two departments serve both children and mothers.
